She turned something old into something new.

Brittany Dalena, a Fresno, California bride, repurposed a third-generation wedding dress from her grandmother into a two-piece set. The vintage ivory gown covered in paisley prints, originally worn by her grandmother and then passed down to her mother, was transformed into Dalena’s rehearsal dress.

“The dress is about 50 years old, and there are pieces of it where my grandmother and her mother-in-law stitched beading into it,” Dalena told The Post.
